What was one difficult challenge you faced to get this win?
A difficult challenge I faced was staying motivated and focused on the task at hand to get the results I wanted.
What is one thing you dislike the most about showing pigs?
I dislike when a pig I’ve worked hours upon hours with ends up not turning out the way we wanted and letting our whole crew down.
One thing you enjoy the most:
One thing I’ve enjoying is meeting life long friends and getting to make many new connections with important industry leaders.
Something new you tried:
A new product I’ve tried is FerAppease. This helps with calming the pigs nerves down and helps with stress.
Besides being named Grand Champion, what was another memorable moment for you?
An extremely memorable moment for me and my family was putting all three of my gilts in the Tulsa State Fair gilt sale in 2022.
Somebody you look up to:
I look up to many people in the industry but here are a few. Mr. Jarrett Davis, Christian Berry, Pace Mittelstaedt, Hunter Rice, my mom, dad, and little sister. Without this crew I wouldn’t be where I am today. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have them in my corner.
Favorite show product:
My favorite show product is Champions Choice.
What playlist do you have blaring in the barn?
I don’t necessarily have a playlist but there is tons of Lil Wayne, 21 Savage, Taylor Swift, and Bad Bunny constantly playing in my barn.
